Judy Hicks took up photography as a serious hobby in 2000, when she and David had the good fortune to spend a period of time overseas.

While she continues to enjoy travel, documentary and street/urban photography, Judy has recently branched out into a more contemporary style. She loves colour as you can see from these images, one of which represents her urban photography, the others were taken on a trip to Rotterdam last year.

David transferred from a brownie box camera to 35mm Kodachrome slides at University and has been intermittently taking photographs ever since. Since acquiring his first digital camera just under a decade ago, photography has become a serious leisure activity and he now both plans and seeks out opportunities to capture creative images.

“I absolutely love Nature and being in unspoilt places where many people cannot go”

Esther Serrano’s journey started in December 2014 in Abisko Park, Sweden. To see the Northern Lights was at the top of her list of things ‘to do’. Their beauty had a profound effect upon my senses and inner world. Esther decided there and then to learn to capture the Natural world with her camera. Marina Cano introduced Esther to Wildlife Photography in 2016. Since then she has been infused with an unbridled passion for capturing forever fleeting moments of natural history and sharing them with people. Esther would like her images to provide a window to enable people to be there with her, and to create a conscious social awareness to protect and conserve our planet.

The Royal Photographic Society’s International Images for Science exhibition will be visiting the London Photo Show at the Bargehouse Gallery next week.

The International Images for Science exhibition is the product of an open competition for images that show science in its broadest sense.

Last year, more than 3500 entries were received from 80 countries. The submissions came from a broad range of photography and science enthusiasts, including professional and amateur photographers, scientists and researchers, students and school children.

By understanding more about the person I’m photographing, their work and who they want to communicate with, I create images that show them as they truly are, helping them and their business stand out from an overwhelming ocean of blandness.

I was first struck by the boring representation of business years ago while studying on an exchange programme at Canada’s Ottawa University. Among the vibrantly colour-coded thumb-tab pages of the college prospectus, the business section was represented by a drab grey tone.

The London Photo Show has confirmed Cafe Art as their charity partner for the 2018 exhibition.

Cafe Art is a social enterprise that connects people affected by homelessness with the wider community through their art.

As the exhibition’s charity partner, Cafe Art will be attending the event at the Bargehouse Gallery between 23 and 28 October, to raise awareness of their work by showcasing images from their MyLondon project.

The MyLondon project was launched by Cafe Art back in 2013 and focuses on empowering people affected by homelessness by celebrating their work in an annual calendar, produced and sold to raise funds for the art groups and artists whose images are featured. Photographs are also framed and hung for sale in a number of independent cafes in London, with 80% of the proceeds going to the artists and 20% going back into the project.
